Description Jarne Cook 2005-04-29 00:23:17 UTC

Version:           1.8 (using KDE 3.4.0, Debian Package 4:3.4.0-0pre4 (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-5-i8600

I suspect this is not limited to kmail, but this is where I see the problem.

I have a desktop which uses dhcp.  Now and then the IP will change.  When this happens the kio_imap slaves sook because their connections to the servers have been dropped.

What would be nice, is if the network lib could somehow inform the slaves that the IP has been replaced, or if it could be done transparently.  (eg if the client binds to 0.0.0.0, the then lib should realize the client doesn't care what IP it goes out on).
